Today is the last day to enter my blog candy giveaway. Make sure you comment on the post below by 9 PM EST.
I combined several challenges with this card. I started with my colors and used the challenge on the Color Throwdown blog to use Basic Gray, Blush Blossom, Pumpkin Pie, and Really Rust. I have to admit the Basic Gray and Blush Blossom were a little different to try and work in but I think I was able to include them without it looking too unusual.
I then chose my sketch. For this card I used the sketch on the Midnight Madness blog for this week. This was a little bit different sketch from what I am used to working with but I thought it would be a fun challenge. I really had to work at the placement of the squares and used a ruler to help to make sure the spacing was fairly even. The final challenge I included was the Inspiration Challenge on Our Creative Corner. I interpreted these pictures as fall/harvest pictures and the colors seemed perfect for this also.
I made the leaves by first stamping them with the Itty Bitty Backgrounds paint splatter. I used Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, and Really Rust. After I had my paper stamped I ran it through the paper crimper. I then used the leaf punch to punch my leaves. I think the crimper gives it a nice texture. I pulled out a retired set to use as my focal image. Here is the sketch and my creation.
